My little Kiana is so funny! I have to share this experience that happened with her just this morning.
This week in Kiana's preschool they were learning about the letter "N" so today the teacher asked that each child bring with them a piece of paper telling what their name means or why they were given that specific name.
So this week I have been talking to Kiana about her name and why she is named Kiana Elyse. Kiana means: Divine and to live with Grace. I told her about how when she was born her Dad and I were trying to decide between 2 names Georgia Sue or Kiana Elyse (Georgia means "Farmer or Tiller of the earth") But, when she was born there was no doubt she was not a Georgia she was defiantly Kiana.
Today Kiana was talking to me about the definition of her name. She kept saying Kiana means to live with Grace. I agreed with her and kept going on with my daily tasks (yes, cleaning the house) So right before I took Kiana to preschool this morning I went up into her room and I noticed that she had her suit case packed full of random clothes. I called her up and asked her what was going on. She told me she was going to go and live with Grace. I started laughing (Grace is a sweet little girl who lives down the street from us) Kiana had taken the meaning of her name so literally that she had packed up some of her things and was going to move away. I asked her if she would miss me (I was kinda surprised she had packed up her things so easily) she told me it wouldn't be that big of a deal because she would be just down the street.
Oh Kiana, I gave her a big hug and told her that to live with Grace didn't mean she had to live with someone named Grace. She seemed completely confused by this concept. I just hugged her again and we both laughed.
Kiana has now informed me because she is not allowed to go and live with Grace down the street. When Jeremy and I decide to have a baby we have to name it Grace so she can live with Grace.
Thanks Kiana for the laughs this morning and for agreeing to stay and live with me even though my name is not Grace.

Children are such concrete thinkers.
Thanks for the good laugh

That is awesome. I'm glad to know she's a literal person. I too have fallen into those traps. She's adorable.

Karli,
Your note to me on face book made my day, thanks so much guess the feelings are mutual.
So you can have a baby still, are your ovaries doing ok then? It seems you had cysts or something bad. I always was thankful for all those maternity clothes I bought at the garage sell, I still have them. :)
Cute little gal, Kianna. What a sweet moment to hug and laugh. Strange I knew you when she was in your belly and you were making those decisions what to name her!
I left a long comment on last blog cause I had a similar experience,
:) Emily
